Yes, since that's what they're doing.
Consider: they're sending email. It's unsolicited (you did not ask for
it by confirmed/closed-loop subscription). And it's bulk: these are not
individual messages, they're auto-generated and primarily consist of
identical boilerplate. Thus, unsolicited bulk email, thus spam (since
that's the canonical definition).
